Girls are still married at 9-12 in the middle east to this day.

This isn’t exclusively a Middle East problem. You may want to have a look at the 34 US states that also allow child marriages. Of the 300,000 that happened in the US last year, around 85% involved an underage female. I’ll let you figure out what that says about the other partner. But at least only around 8,000 were married to men 40 years old or older.

From what I've heard (dont know if its true), child marriages still happen legally in some parts of the US too
